Why consider a Wyoming CFP
What a Wyoming CFP gets you.
Wyoming allows qualified residents to carry concealed without a permit, which makes the permit look optional right up until you drive out of state. Recognition of your Wyoming permit is what governs then — and permitless carry does not travel.
The training path is short: approved online coursework with no live-fire requirement. For a Wyoming resident who already carries, it is a small step that converts an in-state practice into a credential other states can recognize.
It is also worth having simply as documentation. A permit is a clean, verifiable record that you completed training on your state's law, which matters more in an unfamiliar traffic stop than most people expect.
How it works
The Wyoming process, in order.
Steps marked “handled elsewhere” are run by the government or a third party — not by us. Knowing which is which is most of what prevents wasted money.

Residency
Resident vs. nonresident.
Wyoming residents
EligibleWyoming residents complete the training and apply through their county sheriff, with the permit issued by the Division of Criminal Investigation.
Everyone else
Limited or not availableW.S. 6-8-104(b)(i) requires six months of Wyoming residency, but waives it for anyone who holds a valid statewide concealed carry permit from another state that recognizes Wyoming permits. Without such a permit, an out-of-state applicant is not eligible, so consider a nonresident-eligible state such as Florida, Idaho, Washington or Texas. If you do qualify under the exception, confirm with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation what training they will accept before enrolling.

Travel value
What could a Wyoming CFP add to your carry strategy?
A second license is worth it where it covers ground your current one doesn't — and that depends entirely on the combination. So look at the actual recognition below, with the states you travel to in mind, rather than assuming any permit simply adds coverage.
We haven't published a recognition map for this permit yet.
We only publish reciprocity once someone here has read the issuing authority's own current list and transcribed it. We have not finished that for the Wyoming Concealed Firearm Permit, and a plausible-looking guess is worse than nothing when you are planning to travel armed. Verify current recognition directly with the sources below before you rely on it.

This course is aimed at Wyoming residents; if you would apply under that exception, confirm with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation what training they will accept before enrolling.

FAQ
Wyoming questions, answered.
Can a nonresident get a Wyoming concealed firearm permit?
Generally only if you already hold a carry permit from your own state. Wyoming law requires six months of Wyoming residency, but W.S. 6-8-104(b)(i) waives that for anyone holding a valid statewide concealed carry permit from another state that recognizes Wyoming permits. This course is built for Wyoming residents, so if you would apply under that exception, confirm with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation what training they accept before enrolling.
Does Wyoming require live fire?
No. The training requirement can be satisfied through approved online coursework with no range qualification.
Wyoming allows permitless carry — why get a permit?
Permitless carry applies inside Wyoming. When you travel, other states look at whether they recognize a Wyoming permit — there is nothing to recognize if you do not hold one.

After the decision
Carrying raises a question the permit course doesn't answer.
Your CFP course covers Wyoming law and when force is justified. What it can't cover is the process that follows a defensive incident: investigation, charging decisions, and the civil claim that can arrive much later.
Some students look into a legal-defense membership at this point. It's worth understanding before you decide either way.
